Plurigaussian Simulations in Geosciences

Description:

Simulation is the fastest developing branch in geostatistics, and simulating the facies inside reservoirs and orebodies is the most exciting part of this. Several methods have been developed to do this (sequential indicator simulations, Boolean methods, Markov chains and plurigaussian simulations). This book focuses on the last type of simulation. It presents the theory required to understand the method, along with the practical examples of applications in mining and and the oil industry as well as tutorial examples. An accompanying CD-ROM featuring demonstration software and color images complement the written text.
